Bright Future With Him Chapter 55
Meanwhile, at Rexton Manor, Kathryn and Tally watched the clothes getting delivered. They exchanged looks. Clearly, they had no idea what Chris was doing.Their marriage was fake, but this was…The workers' leader stepped forward. "Madam, Mr. Albert asked us to send you these. He says they're all your size, so you don't need to try them on."Kathryn and Tally's mouths twitched at the same time. Especially Tally, who instinctively looked at Kathryn's scalded foot. Chris had specifically asked them to tell her that, so she wouldn't have to try anything on? Just how considerate was their icy CEO?Kathryn's mind had gone so blank, and she didn't react for a while. The worker had to call out, "Madam? Madam?""Huh? Yes?" Kathryn snapped out of her trance, but she was clearly still overwhelmed.On the other hand, the worker had already taken out a pen and notebook. He said respectfully, "Please tell us your favorite colors and styles. So we may serve you better in the future!""N-no

"What are you doing?" Tally asked."Tally, I don't think we can keep it a secret any longer!" Kathryn said.Was she trying to get a lighter punishment in return for admitting the truth? That was possible for someone else, maybe. But Chris? No way!"We don't even know what's going on yet. Don't rush to admit it," Tally said."He's going to see it sooner or later! I think it's better if I take the first step and confess my crimes." Kathryn had said confess, not admit.Tally angrily poked her forehead. "Do you think Mr. Albert's a saint?""No!" Kathryn shook her head."Have you ever seen him forgive someone else?" Tally asked again."No!" Forgiveness wasn't a thing that existed in Chris' world. Confessing her crimes and getting busted would lead to the same results. Kathryn now felt so conflicted that she started tearing up. She felt like … she was going mad."If you know that, then why are you still going to confess?""But we can't keep it a secret anymore! Mr. Hunt already
Bright Future With Him Chapter 57
They didn't know if Chris suspected Kathryn right now. Tally and Kathryn looked at the current situation again. They decided they would deny involvement in anything that night in Northvale!Even if Chris suspected something, Kathryn couldn't admit to anything until he had solid proof. Even if he tortured her.Kathryn had worked so hard to settle down in Harborlean. She couldn't let Chris drive her out.After Tally left, Kathryn waited for Chris to return like a prisoner on death row. But when noon came around, it wasn't Chris who came but the Albert family.The one who showed up was Chris' stepmother, Krista Preston! Her fingers were slender, and her nails were painted red. She looked like the perfect mix of seductive beauty and elegance.Krista took out a check and put it on the coffee table before pushing it toward Kathryn with a cold look. "You're a smart woman, Ms. Michaels. You know what I mean, don't you?"Kathryn's face fell. She may be very timid in front of Chris, but Kr

However, she was afraid since benefits were involved. For example, she had been afraid of the teachers at school. She was scared she would do something wrong. Then, she'd be expelled. If she were, she wouldn't be able to fulfill her grandmother's wishes.At the Albert Group, she was afraid of Chris. This was because she'd bought a place in Harborlean and owed the bank a great sum.She was afraid of being jobless, of offending Chris, and not being able to make it in the city anymore. Because of these ties of benefit, she was so afraid and careful. And though Krista was Franco's wife, she had no direct connection to Kathryn! Krista was so angry that she quickly rose. She shot an evil look at Kathryn and said, "So you're saying you won't take the easy way out?""Ms. Preston, there's no need to threaten me." Kathryn opened her eyes and looked at Krista, unaffected.Krista's expression turned colder the more Kathryn called her "Ms. Preston." She badly wanted to teach this disrespe

After hanging up, Chris looked at the security footage on his computer. He forgot all about Kathryn telling off Krista. He didn't even believe it.On the screen was the security footage. The image was peaceful, so quiet that it was creepy. After Kathryn brought him back, no one else entered. And no one else came back out either!The more Chris watched, the darker his gaze became. He picked up the phone and dialed a number. The call was quickly picked up. "Sir!""Spread the news about the wedding." Coldness flashed in Chris' eyes. Some people's dreams were about to be completely crushed.Right then, in Rexton Manor, Kathryn felt cold all over. She pulled the blanket tighter around herself.The housekeeper, Mrs. Hopkins, had already arrived. She finished cleaning up the house. Now, she was making grilled fish in the kitchen.The fragrant smell drifted over, making Kathryn's mouth water.Mrs. Hopkins came out with a food container Kathryn had brought from Jessica's. She ask

Chris said, "Get rid of her. If you don't do a better job with your staff next time, you can leave too!"With that said, he hung up. The phone fell heavily on the dining table, shocking Kathryn so much that the food nearly fell out of her mouth. Jessica's cooking had always been great, but now, Kathryn felt like she was eating plastic!It was really true that a high salary was difficult to earn. Now, she didn't dare to look at Chris. She was scared that just looking over at him would draw his rage. Mrs. Hopkins quickly received the butler's call. Terrified, she went to a corner to answer it. "Mr. Lowe."Kathryn didn't know what was said, but Mrs. Hopkins kept apologizing. Then, she left immediately, not even daring to look at Chris. Soon, only Chris and Kathryn were left in the place. And Kathryn was still so scared she wanted to disappear. Seeing how wary she was, Chris said, "Stop eating!"Kathryn was so timid. There was no reason for Krista to complain about her to F

Kathryn felt proud when her place was mentioned. She felt like she didn't waste all that time she spent being thrifty. She nodded. "Yes, I bought it last year. I just got the keys last month."Now, she had to make the money to renovate it!Chris looked at her childish face. He saw how she lit up when talking about her place. He could tell how much she loved it. No wonder she could fight back against Krista despite being so timid. Chris drummed his fingers on the dining table. At the same time, Kathryn's heart started beating faster. His tone was so hard to decipher. Kathryn couldn't figure out what he wanted at all, especially with the footage still worrying her.Was Chris going to ask or not? Shouldn't he do it fast and get it over with?Kathryn felt immensely pained!Chris laughed when he saw how nervous she was. "What are you so worried about?""Me? Nothing!" Kathryn looked up. But when she met his sharp gaze, she ducked her head again. She didn't dare to look at him.Chr
Bright Future With Him Chapter 62
But when she faced Chris' questioning, Kathryn found she didn't feel calm. She felt even worse, especially when she looked at his sharp gaze. "I-I …" What could she say?Right then, Kathryn forgot everything Tally had told her in her nervousness. She couldn't remember what Tally said about denying everything.She couldn't even talk with the way Chris stared at her.Chris asked, "What? Speak!" His words were even colder now. The danger in them made Kathryn realize she would be doomed if she admitted to it.It was just too scary! Kathryn was so scared that she trembled all over. "I-I went out.""When?""After two and a half hours!" "What time!"Kathryn was speechless. What time? What time had it been? She was done for!All this time, she and Tally had been thinking about how she could deny it. They never imagined that Chris would question her in such detail. He was even asking the exact time now!How was she going to answer now?Kathryn was overcome with nerves. She l
